  One week ago, a reporter was talking to three of the most important people in America. One was a very rich banker, another owned one of the largest companies in the world, and the third owned many buildings in the center of New York.

  The reporter was talking to them about being important. “How do we know if someone is really important?” the reporter asked the banker.

  The banker thought for a moment and then said, “I think anybody who is invited to the White House to meet the President(总统) of the United States is really important.”

  The reporter then turned to the owner of the very large company. “Do you agree with that?” she asked.

  The man shook his head, “No, I think the President invites a lot of people to the White House. You’d only be important if while you were visiting the President, there was a telephone call from the president of another country, and the President of the US said he was too busy to answer it.”

  The reporter turned to the third man. “Do you think so?”

  “No, I don’t,” he said. “I don’t think that makes the visitor important. That makes the President important.”

  “Then what would make the visitor important?” the reporter and the other two men asked.

  “Oh, I think if the visitor to the White House was talking to the President and the phone rang, and the President picked up the receiver, listened and then said, ‘It’s for you.’”

  The 31st Summer Olympics will be held in Brazil in 2016. Before this global sporting event, we started thinking about sports that didn’t exist(存在) any more and sports that were maybe a little strange. Read the following ones that have ever been included in the past Olympic Games.

  Live Pigeon(活鸽) Shooting (1900)

  This bloody event was only held once, at the 1900 Paris Olympics. Nearly 300 birds were killed during the competition, leaving a lot of feathers(羽毛) and blood. This is the only event in Olympic history that involved(牵涉) killing live animals.

  12 Hour Bicycle Race (1896)

  Seven riders got on their bikes at 5 a. m. and rode until 5 p.m. Four riders dropped out before noon. But the winner, Adolf Schmal of Austria, managed about 180 miles. Only Schmal and one other finished.

  Tug of War (拔河) (1900-1920)

  This may seem like a basic P.E. class sport more than an Olympic event, but Tug of War was actually one of the first sports played at the Olympic Games in 500 BC.

  There are two teams of eight. The winning team must pull the other team six feet forward.

  Swimming Obstacle Race (障碍赛)(1900)

  The athletes(运动员) had to climb over a pole(杆子) and a row of boats, and then swim under another row of boats. All of this was done in the Seine River, so they also had to fight against the water. This event was only ever held in 1900, in Paris.

64.The writer thinks that these four events were ________.

A.strange        B.fantastic

C.modern         D.interesting

65.Which sport looks like a common activity in the P.E. class more than an Olympic event?

66.How many athletes finished the event 12 Hour Bicycle Race?

第二节 任务型阅读(共4小题,每小题2分,满分8分)

根据短文内容使用适当词语填空,每空不限定词数。

  Graffiti(涂鸦) is popular in most western cities. The word “graffiti” means drawing or writing on the walls of buildings, or the public transportation, such as trains or buses.

  Graffiti, as a form of expression, was born in New York during the 1960s and 1970s. At that time, a new modern culture about city life appeared. Graffiti was a written form of expression of that life.

  At first, graffiti artists used pens. But then, with the development of graffiti, they began to use spray paint(喷漆罐). Spray paint allowed them to draw a greater area and work faster.

  At present, different people have different ideas about graffiti. Some people say it makes the cities dirty. It isn’t allowed by many local governments in America. The governments spend more than a million dollars a year cleaning graffiti. The money, they say, could be better spent on health or education. Other people think it is a form of art. In fact, the works of some famous graffiti artists can be found in museums, galleries, and art books.
